Chapter 170 Illusion and Gu Insects (two chapters in one)
This dazzling and deafening explosion of golden light is a spell released by Cui Youguo.
He had already used escape skills downstairs to move all the guests and girls in the Nuanxiang Pavilion to a safe area far away.
He originally planned to come back to reinforce Qin Shaoyou and others, but as soon as he stepped into the courtyard of Nuanxiang Pavilion, he heard the strange pipa music and felt a very bewitching power from it.
Cui Yougui immediately judged that this was Ruan Xiangxiang playing the bone pipa, releasing the charm of the demon.
He was afraid that Qin Shaoyou and others would not be able to resist him. At the same time, he also felt that this was a good opportunity to show off his abilities, so he unleashed such an exorcism and meditation technique.
It is said that it is about exorcising evil spirits and meditating, but the battle is bigger than slaying demons with thunder and fire... which is in line with Senior Brother Cui's character of showing off.
In any case, Cui Yougui's method of exorcising evil spirits and meditating on the mind came just in time.
Immediately, Xu Ba'an, Xin Lu and others regained consciousness despite the pain in their eyes and ears and the bone-chilling cold all over their bodies.
In fact, several general banners themselves have the cultivation of artistic conception, and have a certain resistance to spiritual spells. The reason why they were attacked just now is because Ruan Xiangxiang started planning from the beginning of the battle.
The music she asked the Bone Pipa to play before was not only used to boost her morale, but also quietly planted a seed of confusion in the hearts of Qin Shaoyou and others.
Later, although Ruan Xiangxiang's mental attack was resisted by Qin Shaoyou and others, it still disturbed their minds to a certain extent.
Those charming seeds glimpsed the opportunity and took advantage of it.
In addition, Ruan Xiangxiang's own red pink charm technique also has a strong deceiving power, so she can successfully captivate the minds of Xu Ba'an, Xin Lu and others. Even Qin Shaoyou fell into the trap.
Although this state of charm will not last long, it is enough for Ruan Xiangxiang to lure several people into a fight, and she can take advantage of it and escape.
It's a pity that Ruan Xiangxiang's plan and arrangement were ruined by Cui Youwei.
She also didn't expect that a Taoist priest would actually come to a brothel to pick up prostitutes, otherwise she would definitely have taken precautions.
At this moment, Xu Ba'an, Xin Lu and others, who had regained consciousness, felt apprehensive in their hearts.
If it weren't for Cui Yougui, they would have fought with their colleagues and killed each other.
Xu Ba'an, Xin Lu and others hurriedly activated their blood and willpower, and took sufficient mental precautions to avoid being confused again.
At the same time, they also launched a more violent attack, hoping to wash away the shame just now.
After Ruan Xiangxiang's plan failed, she was extremely angry and resentful.
If Hennu could kill, Senior Brother Cui would have been killed by her.
The angry Ruan Xiangxiang, while avoiding and resisting everyone's attacks, once again used the pink charm technique.
She knew that Qin Shaoyou and others were already prepared, and it would be very difficult for them to fall into the trap again.
So this time, she went all out, hoping to use the last remaining effect of the charm seeds to enchant everyone again.
Streams of blood gushed out from her fingertips, rolling along the strings and onto the bone pipa.
On the pale Pipa, a few touches of strange red immediately appeared.
These red colors gathered into runes, making the tunes played by the Bone Pipa even more confusing.
But at the same time, Ruan Xiangxiang's body is aging rapidly.
However, under the influence of the enhanced version of the pink charm technique, the Ruan Xiangxiang that Zhu Xiucai, Xu Baan and others saw in their eyes was still young, beautiful, charming, and pitiful.
Although they were not directly fascinated like before, their fighting spirit and murderous intention were affected, and they even developed some sympathy for Ruan Xiangxiang.
This gave Ruan Xiangxiang a chance to escape.
But before she could make her next plan, the pity and sympathy in the hearts of Xu Baan, Zhu Xiucai and others all disappeared.
Just because Ruan Xiangxiang's appearance in their eyes has undergone earth-shaking changes.
She is no longer a beautiful and charming sexy lady, but has become terrifying and frightening - the flesh and skin on her body is rotting and falling off rapidly, revealing the dense white bones and the maggots crawling on the bones.
This sudden change shocked Xu Ba'an, Zhu Xiucai and others.
While they were having sex, they also got rid of the confusion of the pink charm and returned to normal.
"how so……"
Ruan Xiangxiang was shocked and confused by this sudden change.
But soon she understood the reason, glared at Qin Shaoyou with angry eyes, gritted her teeth and roared: "You are doing something wrong again!"
The disgusting and terrifying scene that everyone saw was the illusion created by Qin Shaoyou using the magic ghost bead.
After Xu Ba'an, Zhu Xiucai and others were bewitched by Ruan Xiangxiang's red pink charm, their mental resistance dropped accordingly.
This situation was discovered by Qin Shaoyou. He had no way to break Ruan Xiangxiang's charm, so he could only attack those who fell into her charm.
So under the influence of the magic ghost bead, the pink beauty in the eyes of Xu Baan, Zhu Xiucai and others turned into a terrifying skeleton!
The effect of this change is like being an old porn star who was originally watching Yua Mikami's action movie, but suddenly Yua Mikami turned into Kayako.
Even the leader of the sex group can't get up.
Quitting was successful in an instant.
Ruan Xiangxiang knew that as long as Qin Shaoyou's illusion skills continued, her pink charm spell would never be successful again.
But the pipa song she just played was more than just a charm technique!
Cui Youyou rushed into the courtyard of Nuanxiang Pavilion and was about to jump upstairs to support Qin Shaoyou and others.
Suddenly he felt something moving behind him and hurriedly turned around.
I saw that the person who had just been moved to a safe area far away by his escape technique actually came back.
Or he ran back by himself.
It's just that their posture is very weird, they are lying on the ground like wild beasts, crawling on their hands and feet.
Their eyes were still closed, and they were obviously still in a state of drugged drowsiness.
But the body was moving, like a puppet being manipulated.
However, the speed, strength, etc. are all faster and larger than normal.
Qin Shaoyou and others upstairs could see further and more clearly.
It's not just the girls and customers in the Nuanxiang Pavilion who have become like this.
Except for a small number of people in Piaoxiang Courtyard who were not affected, most people have become like this.
They were like wild beasts, coming from all directions towards the Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Moreover, it is only their bodies that are being controlled, and their consciousness is very clear.
For a time, all kinds of exclamations, screams, and questions resounded throughout the Piaoxiang Courtyard.
It also made Xu Baan and others feel confused and confused:
"What's going on with these people?!"
"Are they possessed by evil spirits? Or are they controlled by something?"
At this time, Ruan Xiangxiang laughed proudly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Many of these people are dignitaries and court officials. If you want to attack them, you have to think about the consequences..."
Hearing this, what else does Qin Shaoyou and others not understand?
Ruan Xiangxiang used some sorcery to control the ordinary people in Piaoxiang Courtyard, hoping to use them as support to stop and harass Qin Shaoyou and others, and to provide cover for her escape.
Xu Baan, Xin Lu and others' expressions changed slightly at this moment, and they opened their mouths and spat out white insects one after another.
There is also a piece of silk string wrapped around these white bugs.
"It's a Gu insect!"
Xu Ba'an's face was gloomy.
There is no doubt that Ruan Xiangxiang must have been poisoned by the wine in Piaoxiangyuan.
Most of those people who come from all directions are also controlled by this evil poison.
After all, Xu Baan and the others were also warriors with strong blood energy, so when they sensed the trouble caused by the Gu insects, they could attack and kill them with their blood energy.
Qin Shaoyou also killed the Gu insect, but did not spit it out.
It turned out that the moment he killed the Gu worms, there was an extra page of recipes called 'Fried Gu worms' in the mysterious recipes in his mind.
It's a pity that the Gu worm has already been eaten into his stomach. He can't spit it out and then explode it, right?
It can only be digested directly in the stomach. Although it is not as effective as frying, it is better than spitting it out and wasting it.
As for Ruan Xiangxiang wanting to rely on these people controlled by the Gu to help her escape, Qin Shaoyou is not worried.
Because in the dark night, he not only saw these people controlled by the Gu, but also saw the night watchman.
Although under the control of the Gu insect, these people's speed and strength have increased, but they are still not enough in front of the night watchman.
When the night watchmen who came for reinforcements saw the strange appearance of these people, they immediately concluded that they were either possessed by evil spirits or had been bewitched.
So he immediately stepped forward and used extremely professional methods to subdue these people and shackle them to trees or pillars so that they could not move.
This scene was also seen by Ruan Xiangxiang.
She originally thought that Qin Shaoyou only had six or seven people. When the people controlled by her Gu in Piaoxiang Courtyard came, even if they couldn't kill them, they could hold them back, allowing her to escape calmly.
I never expected that these guys would have reinforcements! The reinforcements would come so quickly!
This person couldn't possibly have come from the Demon Suppression Division, it could only be an ambush in advance.
So are these people crazy?
Visiting a brothel and ambushing a large group of people outside?
Or are they aware of something wrong with me a long time ago, targeting me, and are here to close the net tonight?
But when did I show my flaws?!
Ruan Xiangxiang knew very well that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to her.
A person controlled by a poisonous insect would have no problem trapping seven or eight night watchmen, but now there might be hundreds of night watchmen rushing into Piaoxiang Courtyard, right?
Therefore, these people who are controlled by the Gu have no hope at all.
She can only rely on her own ability to break through.
And she had to break out of the encirclement quickly, otherwise once the other night watchmen arrived, she would have no chance of escaping.
Thinking of this, Ruan Xiangxiang no longer hesitated and immediately pounced on Qin Shaoyou like a tiger descending the mountain.
He looked like he was going to kill him.
This reaction was expected by everyone.
Only by killing Qin Shaoyou and terminating his illusion can Ruan Xiangxiang's pink charm technique be put to use again, allowing her to find a chance to escape.
Facing the menacing Ruan Xiangxiang, Qin Shaoyou not only did not panic, but actually got what he wanted.
He held the illusion ghost bead in his left hand, and with a long sword in his right hand, he faced Ruan Xiangxiang.
They don't want to be able to kill Ruan Xiangxiang, but they just need to entangle her so that Xu Ba'an, Xin Lu and others can arrive, and then they can kill or capture her.
While fighting, Qin Shaoyou was still reciting the "Law of Daxia": "Anyone who commits a crime and escapes from arrest will have two grades added to his original crime."
Ruan Xiangxiang's lungs were about to explode.
Here it comes again, here it comes again, this damn guy is starting an on-site trial again!
She wanted to tear Qin Shaoyou's mouth to pieces, cut off his tongue, and immediately shouted angrily: "A second degree for crime? Then you have to catch the Nu family first!"
Qin Shaoyou did not respond verbally to Ruan Xiangxiang, but just recited "Da Xia Lu".
But with the long sword in his hand, he used the demon-subduing pestle technique he learned from Veda Bodhisattva. He used the pestle technique to slash at Ruan Xiangxiang violently.
Ruan Xiangxiang stepped back to avoid the knife, and at the same time danced wildly with her hands, playing the bone pipa.
Her blood mixed with the pipa strings, causing the released sound blade to take on an image.
They transformed into fully armed skeleton warriors and faced everyone with bared teeth.
"Is it a ghost? Or a witchcraft?"
Qin Shaoyou originally wanted to chase Ruan Xiangxiang, but several skeleton warriors had already surrounded him and entangled him.
Xu Ba'an, Xin Lu and other generals rushed over immediately, not only to support Qin Shaoyou, but also to surround and kill Ruan Xiangxiang.
But at this moment, they were surrounded by skeleton warriors who suddenly appeared.
Zhu Xiucai was also trapped in a tight siege.
His cultivation level is inherently weaker than Qin Shaoyou, Xu Baan and others.
Moreover, what he is good at is roaming and sneak attacks, rather than strong attacks. In the past, when facing enemies, he always stayed beside the human shields such as the horse monk and only dealt with damage.
So now, after he was entangled by the skeleton warrior, he couldn't help but feel a little confused and tired of dealing with it.
What shocked him even more was that Ruan Xiangxiang actually abandoned Qin Shaoyou and turned towards him.
Zhu Xiucai was also a smart man, and he immediately realized that Ruan Xiangxiang's target had never been Qin Shaoyou, but him.
Because he is the weakest link in the encirclement.
If Ruan Xiangxiang wants to break through, he is the best breakthrough point.
Ruan Xiangxiang's anger just now, as well as her aggressive intention to kill Qin Shaoyou and terminate the illusion, were all fake, just to make everyone think that she was going after Qin Shaoyou.
She also succeeded, attracting Xu Ba'an, Xin Lu and others to support Qin Shaoyou, allowing her to calmly kill Zhu Xiucai without help.
Seeing Ruan Xiangxiang running towards Zhu Xiucai, everyone changed their colors.
"not good!"
"Zhu Xiaoqi, be careful!"
They wanted to rush over for reinforcements, but the skeleton warriors and silk strings entangled them.
Zhu Xiucai was not afraid.
He gritted his teeth and waved his sword to face the enemy.
I plan to risk my life not only to keep Ruan Xiangxiang here, but also to keep her here.
To gain time and create opportunities for the arrest and execution of Qin Shaoyou and others.
Ruan Xiangxiang saw his intention and sneered: "You want to stop me with your silver pewter spear head? Go to hell -"
She flicked her fingers on the bone pipa, and a violent sound blade roared out and hit Zhu Xiucai.
At the same time, Qin Shaoyou activated [Ghost Binding] and shouted: "Senior Brother Cui, if you don't make a move, the scholar will die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Cui Yougui's voice coming from downstairs.
"Here comes the sword - kill the demon!"
A ray of fire flew into the sky from the room where the guests' weapons were stored at the entrance of Piaoxiang Courtyard, and rushed straight to the Nuanxiang Pavilion at lightning speed, and instantly stopped between Ruan Xiangxiang and Zhu Xiucai.
